Women today say they like cars that are nippy, easy to get around in, mechanically sound, cost-effective and not too cumbersome or awkward to drive.  Extra storage space, child space and safety features (especially for a woman with a family) are other major issues.  And of course, a vehicle that guarantees woman car insurance at a fantastic price is a bonus! 

Sports cars and having fun on the road
Sports cars, cars that are fun to drive and executive or 'status' car have become equally important to women as to men.  Japanese cars are still a popular choice across all sectors of woman drivers (from students to executives) for reliability, safety, low fuel costs and carbon emissions and low cost woman only car insurance, especially as these considerations rise up the consumer agenda.

Cars preferred by student drivers
Female student drivers prefer cars that are reliable, easy to drive, affordable and suited to student life.  The small car market and low cost cars that are cheap to run and offer cheap car insurance premiums are popular choices.  They include the Ford Focus, the Honda Civic, the Hyundai Accent, the Kia Optima, the Volkswagen Rabbit and the Toyota Corolla.  Stylish features, a neat interior trim, a sporty overall look and sophisticated music system are cited as essentials. 

The RAC reports that young drivers (between 17-24) want a car with low emissions but also high performance.  In other words, manufacturers need to think 'lean, mean and green' to capture this market.

Choosing a fuel efficient car
The most popular fuel efficient cars include most Japanese cars and eco-friendly cars, the Ford Focus and the Volkswagen Jetta.  Buying a fuel efficient car is considered by the average woman driver to be good for the planet as carbon dioxide emissions are lower. 

They're also easy on the budget as choosing the most fuel-efficient small car can save £200 a year.  Diesel-powered cars are still thought of as the most sensible choice for lower petrol costs.

So, with great savings on motor insurance from woman only car insurance specialists like CoverGirl, you're on to a winner!

Cars for the eco-conscious
The Honda Civic was considered to be the most popular car in the green market, with two alternative fuel options - natural gas or gasoline-electric power.  The Honda Insight is also popular, along with the Citroen C3.  Ford's £1 billion investment into 'green technologies' across its full range of vehicles including Jaguar and Volvo has also made its range attractive to the woman driver. Hybrid cars like the Toyota Prius are still considered to be an expensive choice of car and electric cars, while attractive to the woman driver in the UK, are low on the wish-list of the eco-conscious as there has been insufficient government investment into alternative fuels.  

Female executives and their choice of car
Female executives look for style and status.  Elegant saloon cars that are compact but spacious with good fuel economy include any BMW and models by Mercedes, Jaguar and Audi.  Luxury cars are still considered to be an expensive choice but low-cost car insurance from a specialist woman insurance provider may also make the prospect of an executive model attractive.

Cars for the physically disabled
For the physically disabled woman driver, the Scion-Braun xB Rampvan is the most popular car and has an automated ramp on the back of the vehicle rather than the side. This means that drivers can use all available parking spaces and not just those designed for vans.  This vehicle costs 50 per cent less than a standard 'accessible' van and uses less fuel so qualifies for a lower than usual physically disabled car insurance premium.
